Did you see what NBC’s TODAY show did on Twitter the other day? They asked their viewers to tweet them photos of the same moment - and then rounded them up in a post and on the air!

SO much fun! I loved it! Take a look at what they collected here — lots of cool behind-the-scenes snaps from Hoda, Al and the rest of the gang, plus a look into the lives of their viewers (plenty of cute baby and pet shots)!

Now I want to get in on the fun too ... but with IndyStar.com’s readers, of a different (but same) moment!

Let's try a fun contest: #Indy1206!

For Thursday, May 9, at 12:06 p.m. (I timed it for the lunch hour), take a photo of where you are and tweet it with the hashtag #Indy1206.

With the timing, I’m thinking you’ll post a lot of photos of what you are eating and where. But, a photo of who you are with, or the view from your window or desk (if you’re, like me, at a computer through your break), could also be a great shot! Don’t be afraid to look for offbeat angles or crops, too!

We will post the best ones at IndyStar.com on Friday ... AND, I’ll pick a few at random to win a coupon book from Mike’s Carwash!

Rules to keep in mind:

• You can only win if you use the hashtag #Indy1206.

• The contest begins at noon on Thursday, May 9, 2013, and ends at 1 p.m. the same day -- the lunch hour, basically. This gives you enough time to post your photo and account for typing, transmission and time differences between devices.
